Amon_RA v2.2.1 Install

Hi

I happened to get my hands on a nexus one(stock gingerbread unrooted) recently, from a friend. I used the Gingerbreak exploit to soft-root it, which means the bootloader is still locked and I intend to keep it that way since its still got a few months of warranty left on it. I also installed busybox on it.

Now I wish to install the Amon_RA 2.2.1 recovery image on it..After hunting through the xda threads and wikis..I figured the following would be the way to go about it..

Copy the flash_image binary and the amon_RA recovery image onto the root of the sd card and connect the phone to the pc using the USB cable. After confirming with 'adb devices', run the following:

>abd shell

$su

#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#busybox cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image

#chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

#busybox mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old

#busybox mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old

#mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#reboot recovery

My motivation behind installing the Amon_RA is to be able to take a nandroid back-up of the current stock-rooted image I have and save it. I do not intend to flash custom ROMs on it(well atleast for now ;)) Infact I intend to revert back to the stock recovery image, whenever it is that a future gingerbread update is released. I expect that to be very soon, with those 'pmem(): out of memory' display issues haunting the device.

I searched through some forums again and found that going back to stock recovery was as simple as getting the 'recovery.img' of the stock gingerbread build and flash it using the above method. I got the GRI40 build from htc's developer site . Can I just go ahead and extract the recovery.img file out of this zip and flash it using the above steps?

Also can you guys point out the steps that I may have missed in the amon_RA recovery installation procedure? Is there any dependency on the hboot version?

Thanks so much.

Why not just use ROM Manager from the Market, it's free
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungryTux:
Does ROM manager allow you to flash Amon_RA recovery image? I thought it would only allow the clockwork image. I'm not very familiar with the ROM Manager. Guess I'll have to read up a bit.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You obviously did your reading! Your procedure for flashing a custom recovery is correct.

Yes, you can just extract the recovery.img file from the stock GRI40 image and flash it using the same procedure you used to flash the custom recovery. Or you could also rename the two files (which you renamed in the flashing procedure you described) back to their original names: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and system/recovery-from-boot.p These two files reflash the stock recovery upon every reboot, so if they are there, you will have the stock recovery.

One other point: If you are using a custom recovery that has signature verification off (like the one in my signature), all the OTA updates install without any problem, and there is no need to flash the stock recovery...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungryTux:
Ohh yes renaming the files back to their original names should work too right..great! Thanks so much for the help efrant.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmalach:
Yes assuming you are using the N1, it's before the last option :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungryTux:
Amon_RA 2.2.1 installed! sd_ext option?

Ok so I've been able to flash the recovery partition successfully with the Amon_RA image. I made a nandroid backup which went through fine too.

I want to know more about the 'sd_ext' option in the backup menu. I didn't check it while i was backing up, but I do remember reading in the Amon_RA dev thread that some users were facing problems when this option was checked.

When would I want to check this option? Is it to backup my sd card apps too? In that case if I try to restore from a nandroid backup which did not have this option checked, would it cause any issues..bootloop etc.?

Thanks for your patience!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungryTux:
So I tried the sd-ext option as well, and this is the error msg i see in the recovery.log file

Storing the ext contents in the backup folder.

.Warning: --ext specified but unable to mount the ext partition.

I checked..my SD card's FAT32 formatted and indeed there's no ext partition. So nandroid isn't wrong in throwing out that error. However I do move some apps of mine to the SD card using the stock application manager in gingerbread.

A little browsing through the forums on this, leads me to believe that I need to check this option only if I'm using app2sd and when I have a ext partition on my sd card for that. So is the case with .android_secure I'm guessing. However I'm still not 100% sure about this. Could someone please confirm this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Quick tip - if you can see a folder in Windows, then it's not on an ext partition.

In order to have an ext partition you would've had to make it yourself by reformatting the SD...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungryTux:
But would I need to reformat it to ext3, if I'm not going to use app2sd? Also the apps that I've moved to SD using the default gingerbread app manager..would those be backed up too if I don't check the sd-ext option while doing the nandroid backup?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
No you don't normally need an ext partition. The standard apps to SD uses the FAT partition, which is fine for what it does (move part on the app). If you want to move all of the app, and possibly data and cache, then you would need to use an ext partition.

Basically, Androids native FS is ext, so you can trick the phone into thinking an ext partition is internal storage...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungryTux:
OK I get it now...so I'm good with the non sd-ext backup then. Thanks for the help danger-rat.:)

Not that I know of, but you could definitely use desktop visualizer and launcher pro to produce some sort of windows phone effect.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ctinsley:
are you looking for a Windows 7 theme? or a Windows Phone 7? For Windows Phone 7 try out Metro UI or Launcher 7. WP7 is not my cup of tea but they are the closest things for it in Android.

[Vibrant Android Development] YetisAreReal:
First off I gotta say thanks to Jellette, Eugene, and all of Team Whiskey for their awesome work making roms and kernels.

I thought this fix deserved its own thread so it won't get lost for future reference.

Included fixes: GPS, WIFI, Language, and the Soft Reboot fix by Eugene.

These .zip's are flashable through CWM

If you are running Darkys latest 9b3 rom use the Darky.Pack.zip

If you are running a stock I9000 rom use the I9000.Pack.zip
[Vibrant Android Development] ctran81:
It works for me using the manual way. (pushing files using file explorer)

Again thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] 啊喔鹅咦呜鱼:
how is the battery on darky?
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
Is this confirmed to get the GPS working?
[Vibrant Android Development] YetisAreReal:
Yes this is confirmed working and no idea on battery life since I haven't used Darkys rom for more than a few hours.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
I flashed through clockwork and gps is still a no go for me on darkys.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I wouldn't flash that, I'd use root explorer to push the files inside it.

Edit - I take that back, flashing should work just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
Whoever is running Darky's ROM....HOW did you solve the issue where the phone CAN'T receive incoming calls?

Rings once and tries to load the call screen but fails and drops the call.
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
Eugene said battery should be par with stock if you're using the dead horse kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
You may be isolated to this issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
I retract! I did not have google locations checked.
[Vibrant Android Development] SykesAT:
This happens to me to. Have to have my phone for tomorrow so flashed back to trigger. For me it's incoming call wait calls.
[Vibrant Android Development] Monther Qandeel:
I had that issue when I first flashed the rom and did not wipe my data/cache partition. Just wiped from CWM and the problem (among others) resolved.
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:

[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Full fix pack for any stock 2.2 or 2.2.1 I9000 Rom

Add this to the OP bro, and in advanced editing change the title to full fix for all 2.2.1 I9000 Roms.

Flash for GPS, WIFI, Language, Soft Reboot fix [by Eugene] of any 2.2.1 stock rom - This flash along with Eugenes original flash will break the functionality of custom roms like darkys due to the services.jar not being correct.
[Vibrant Android Development] kboater:
Would someone, who is running Darky, just start a Darky thread? I see tons of Darky posts in all these other developer's threads, or in a GPS fix thread.

Just make a Darky thread, then post all your questions, answers and observations on Darky there; instead of cluttering up/de-railing other threads
[Vibrant Android Development] SykesAT:
Jellette,

Your post above sounds like you are saying flashing this AND Eugene's service.jar will break i9000 2.2.1 custom roms. Thought you need to flash/push both fixes, or your combo zip a few posts above?

one more qu. Could we push the fix files into the rom's zip before flashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Same question, should I just remove the service.jar, or can I just flash this one over it?
[Vibrant Android Development] pegasus912:
So if I'm already on Darkys rom and I already pushed the services.jar file and I decide to flash a different i9000 rom will it mess up my phone if I use the i9000 pack after I flash the new rom? Sorry if it is a noob question.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] huchein:
This didn't fix my GPS on darky rom
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
This is using Eugenes jar - But any custom rom with an altered services.jar will not be 100% compatible.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Correct, that is why I requested the original file if mine does not work.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
lol - gonna get 100 files sent to you!

You guys were busy as can be while I was out with strep!
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
You might update the package.. New file posted from darkys rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] jRi0T68:
Jellette,

Is the gpsfix.zip file posted here the same one you posted in the Frost thread to fix gps? If so, anything else I can try to fix gps? I flashed what you posted in the Frost thread, but still can't get a lock.

Bionix Frost
[Vibrant Android Development] YetisAreReal:
No this is for I9000 roms like Darkys.

Just flashed Darky.Pack to and GPS still doesnt wana work.. I dunno why I'm having suck rotten luck with these i9000 ROMs.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
change the lbstest.apk to a vibrant 1

To clear what I mean:

Pull a Factory LBSTest.apk from a vibrant rom & replace the LBSTest.apk that comes with the i9000.

They setup the gps according to rom vendor ( eur ) vs. north America sat. you will likely have to do a factory reset or delete all gps data though.
[Vibrant Android Development] buddahlou:
I had the same issue. Just rename the .apk to vibrant1?
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
lbtestmode.apk thats in system/app?

buddahlou - I think he meant flash one from a vibrant ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
see my above post.. I tried to make it a bit clear than before.

After doing what I suggest, my gps works perfect as it ever did before ( working, but lacking a bit ) :D
[Vibrant Android Development] DreamcastDC:
I may need to try this rom. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
What's the location of that apk? I'm having a hard time finding it in the Frost zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
/system/app/Lbstest.apk
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
I checked Frost, R14, and Axura2.3 and none have that apk in system/app o_O

From Bionix 1.2.1 -
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
Saw that but Eugene said LBSTest.apk a few times.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Can darkys rom pack be updated to eugenes new reboot fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
sorry, it's LBSTestMode.apk
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
Replaced lbstestmode.apk

Factory Reset

Deleted gps data

still wont even see sats...

i give up. back to frost...
[Vibrant Android Development] ferhanmm:
try gps status? sometimes that works for me
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
I tried that and gpstest pro. All this trouble is giving me flashbacks of the days before I did the hardware GPS fix lol. Just saw Darky VE ROM was posted so I'm going to give that a shot. If it still doesnt work I'm just gonna settle for Frost. Not that Frost isnt a nice ROM but Darky and Juwe 1.1 are both noticeably faster in my experience.
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
regP

you mentioned Juwe 1.1..... where did you find that? I've been looking for that thread in the I9000. I've heard of that rom, but never seen screenshots or the thread anywhere in the I9000 section.

Thanks man!
[Vibrant Android Development] regP:
[ROM] [26.2.2011] Juwe's Smart Edition v1.1 XWJS5 | More Than Revolution

I like it... It's gingerbread theme with all the green replaced with white. Performance wise it feels the same as darky.

What I dont like about it thought is it doesnt come with superuser so you'll have to download that and busy box before you can use titanium to restore your apps. Also I like how darky groups its widgets together when you longpress from the homescreen, havent seen that on any other ROM.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moblo:
I recently used this method successfully, so ill try and help.

I think it may have something to do with the step when you enter in your command prompt:

/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5

exit

This step should spoof your version number so you can install the earlier software. You also need to make sure you do have temproot before this step, indicated by the # sign as opposed to the $. I would suggest doing all the steps again, starting with pushing all of the files again. When you get to the above step, check to see that you dont get any errors. If it all works this time round, it should let you install the earlier rom.

Another thing would be to redownload all of the files again to make sure they are all fine, and none of them are corrupt. I actually used the files off the cyanogenmod wiki, which has the same steps as your link, but with a newer gfree. maybe that could be the problem. But definately do the steps again and keep an eye out for any reported errors.

I did all of the steps twice before it worked for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickBR:
I can't get temproot. How you get it?

I can realize the 1-3 steps, but in 4 appears this mensage:
